The Rainbough is an important item in Dragon Quest XI.
Sparkling like a prism, the softly-glowing Rainbough is a cast-off branch of the sacred world tree Yggdrasil, source of all life, and while apparently it would seem completly passive, in truth when wielded by one of Yggdrasil's chosen few, the Luminairies, the Rainbough has the power to act as a compass towards the precious Six Orbs, as they themselves originates from Yggdrasil herself, beginning to shine brightly when near one of them.
History[]
The Rainbough was in ages long past originally retrived from the almighty tree by the first Luminary, Erdwin, and after his demise it was returned to his homeland of Dundrasil, where it became one of their royal treasures. Under unclear circumstances the Rainbough would eventually being transported to Arboria, and it traces would become lost to the world at large for the following centuries.
Many years later, the Zwaardsrustian prime minister began offering the absurdly high sum of one million gold coins to whoever would bring the branch back to them. This reward attracted the attention of a novice adventurer named Chalky, who began traveling in search of the artifact. After many travels, Chalky would rescue the son of Arboria's chief after he had collapsed from hypothermia near Sniflheim, and for this service he was presented with the Rainbough as a reward. Chalky however, having grown more found to the sense of adventure than the Zwaardsrustian bounty chose instead to take the Keystone, a magical artifact for a teleportal known as the Door of Departure, while the Rainbough was taken by his at the time traveling partner, a doctor hailing from the desert kingdom of Gallopolis that had provided first aid to the injuried son. The doctor took the branch back to his homeland, where it became part of the sultanate royal treasure for many decades.

Unfortunately, due to the current Sultan somewhat ill-thought spending habits, the Rainbough would end up recently sold for next to nothing to a Gondolian merchant so that the Sultan could finance a more luxurious than average Sand National horse race, to better celebrate his only son Faris coming of age birthday. The merchant would then sell the Rainbough for a fortune to the mayor of Octagonia and buy an expensive villa in Puerto Valor with the proceeds.
The mayor in turn decided to offer the Rainbough as the grand prize for whoever would win that year Masked Martial Arts tournament, with ironically one of the Six Orbs, the Yellow Orb, simultaneously being offered as the consolation prize.
During their stay in Hotto, the newly reborn Luminary and his freshly formed party decided to search for the mystical branch, convinced it would serve as a clue to discover his own destiny, after hearing of its existance from the information broker Noah, who, thanks to a stroke of luck, some time before had the opportunity to take a glimpse of it during his own visit of Gallopolis. After many tribulations, resulting in them being always a step behind the legendary branch during its exchange from hand to hand, the party finally tracked down the Rainbough in Octagonia and set out to win the tournament to retrive it, signing up for it the Luminary, Erik and Sylvando; they were however unaware that among the other regular contestants another group of people, Rab and Jade, also were specifically after it, as they were hoping it would prove useful in leading them to the culprint behind Dundrasil's massacre.
After recognizing the Luminary's identity during their bout against each other for the title match, much to their shock, and solving the mysterious events that were happening behind the scenes of the tournament, Rab and Jade decided to pilfer the Rainbough together with their rightful second place prize, the Yellow Orb, in order to lead him and his group to Dundrasil's old ruins, where they could safely unravel his heritage and their true identities to him. After a brief separation due to an intense encounter with the Heliodorian army, Rab and Jade joined the party and finally conveyed the Rainbough in the hands of the Luminary and the branch, although initially being briefly inert, showed the party a vision of the true purpose of the colored orbs.
With the yellow orb and the red orb luckily already in his possesion, the Luminary began a quest in search of the remaing four orbs scattered across Erdrea, and after reuniting all six of them the Rainbough rested safely in his possesion for all the remains of his journey.
